My recollection is that you single prorate a true LOST corner. And of course it would be on the arc, simple enough to do these days if you are using GPS.
But I can't cite anything that says it's a single prorate.
I believe that the KEY is in the Original (Resurvey) Notes, and exactly HOW the Correction Line was RUN, AND, how the Corners North & South thereof were established. The one that I have worked on most recently, was RUN WEST on a True Line, setting Corners every 40 chains. LATER in the same [Re]Survey, this line as CLOSED UPON by running North or South from established Corners of the Original Survey.
I suppose that could be construed more than one way though...

Generally I have seen them in independent resurveys, they are run through the township, sometimes all six miles. I had one maybe twenty years ago that was missing a section corner stone, and we discussed which way to prorate it in. That one was for an original survey that was completing a township. It runs 5 miles through the south line of the north tier of sections.
Talked to the BLM and came to a conclusion just in case, ended up accepting a fence corner anyway, so the point was moot, and now I don't remember which way was decided, but I THINK it was single prorate.

I agree... as a "general rule," a single proportion is correct.
I most often see Sectional Correction Lines on "Completion Surveys," so that's a little different than an Independent Resurvey.
In any case...IT DEPENDS :whistle:
I had to use the manual to remember what a sectional correction line is. :pinch:
Looks like the answer is single proportion. A correction line only placed during the original survey? so is is considered a township line? And falls under 7-16 as a "township boundary"?
Interesting topic. I need to do some more reading.

MOST sectional correction lines I see were set during a resurvey, the Independent type. I know of at least one that was done as for a completion survey, so it's an original. Which also brings up the line along the completion survey and the "first" original survey, how do you prorate in a stair step section corner along that line? double proration or a broken boundary?

Good point. I used the term original survey pretty loosely.
